What I would and wouldn't do again...

[kthun]

So happy that I found this thread!  Many of you have said that you are glad that you did the OOT bags but not many people have mentioned what they put in them that was so great.  I really want to add useful items but I don't want to spend a ton either.  I'm also trying to make it to Mexico with out 6 bags of luggage!

I did it! I read all 67 pages, and I want to say, THANK YOU. I can already feel myself stressing over the simplicity of the dresses I am looking at online... and then I read about so many brides who are happy that they had a simple one. The biggest thing is hearing all the complainers and whiners and feeling bullied about people trying to talk me out of a DW.... thank you so much to all those who said that it was the best decision, and not to stress about other people!

It helps so much going forward, and I just have to remind myself of that over and over again throughout the next (nearly) two years. Thanks so much!
